thx for the link, thats the thing I am thinking about. As it seems 
there is no direct way to get this working in pd. I just had a rough 
look at the pso external of bbogart (got from the external cvs) but I 
didnt checked out a way to use it together with gem - if there is one 
... I have to think about it.

cheers
Christian
